Choosing a main for Stormblood

More than which one I want to main is which one I wanna play after the main...
Main will be my NIN, no doubt, I just love having a sharp tool in each hand.

But for the 2nd dps to go... Im battling between SAM/RDM/MNK/BRD D':!!

with all the great changes to casting and healing I'm honestly kind of torn.

Took a long break from the game and returning for Stormblood. That being said as far as my new main I will be playing the job I have waited for since ARR launched, Samurai! Played it in FFXI and I will main it in Stormblood without a doubt. Feels like forever waiting for this job to finally be in the game.

I will always be the few...

the proud....

the Machinist!

The other Jobs I will play just to level them for their Job storylines.

PLD, if continue after PvP changes.

However, I may change to Red Mage depending on how it plays out because I was original a Sword user type player and Magic Sword Class/Jobs is my original favorite type of Jobs to play as.

after seeing MCH lose casting i'm more than likely gonna change to something else possibly SAM, or NiN. still leveling MCH first to see how it plays but i liked the casting and the class rewarded high skill.

My first choice was going to be RDM, as that was my initial main back in XI. I must admit though, I really liked how Kat looked as a SAM in the benchmark. The job didn't really appeal to me in XI, or in most Final Fantasy games for that matter, but seeing it in action in XIV has my hopes up.

Then they went ahead and previewed the changes coming to jobs :eek:. Remembering how much fun I had with BRD before 3.0, the news that bow mages will be a thing of the past (and not a moment too soon), and with songs appearing that they may have more prominence, they made it tough to not start as BRD when picking up the main story.

Then there is WHM and AST. I would like to see how healers have changed, and when early access hits, it would be a good time to learn the new mechanics and just to see how they feel when everyone else is relearning. Plus if there is a large DD surplus, going healer may help with the ques when the expansion launches.

I'll probably keep changing my mind between now and release, but it will be between RDM, SAM, BRD, WHM, or AST.

And what I've seen of their toolkit, it's looking to be a real heavy hitter. I'm gonna wait for SB to decide officially. I enjoy the utility that NIN brings to the party (Everyone loves having a trick attack), so I would say the only thing that might lose me on SAM is a potential lack of utility. If I like it, it will be SAM>DRK>NIN. If I don't, it'll be NIN>DRK>SAM. Either way, I'm playing SAM even if it's just in dungeon content.

Well, you somewhat know what to expect from Ninja.
My advice would be to try out SAM on release, perhaps level it a few level to see if you like it.
If from the start you don't, you'll be fix.

I was actually going to change my main i have had since early 2.0 (blm) and go as Red, buuut seeing new changes to blm i will remain, huhu
Red Mage will be my 2nd and Astro my third, War will be my 4th :)
